Chapter 162: Breaking Through to Soul Douluo, Challenging Snow Empress
While Bibi Dong was venting her dissatisfaction, Lin Chen was receiving today's diary reward.
"Great, it's a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Now I can break through to Soul Douluo."
After receiving the "system version" god-bestowed soul ring from the diary system, Lin Chen's face was filled with a smile.
After this period of daily rewards, Lin Chen's soul power level had already reached rank eighty. He was just one soul ring away from breaking through to Soul Douluo.
Once he broke through to Soul Douluo, his strength could rise to another level, directly crossing the boundary between peak Douluo and ultimate Douluo, truly possessing Ultimate Douluo-level combat power.
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes as he looked at the red orb in his hand.
As long as he crushed this red orb, he would obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and officially become a Soul Douluo.
Immediately after, Lin Chen sat cross-legged inside his palace. With a slight exertion of his fingers, he directly crushed the red orb in his hand.
The next moment, a blood-red soul ring emitting immense pressure appeared above him. Seeing this, Lin Chen circulated his soul power and guided the hundred-thousand-year soul ring onto himself.
As time passed, the pressure spreading within the palace grew stronger and stronger, and Lin Chen was almost finished absorbing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Finally, at a certain moment, Lin Chen's aura surged violently, his soul power oscillating around him, and then his eyes slowly opened.
"Rank eighty-three. A single hundred-thousand-year soul ring increased me by three ranks. Not bad."
After absorbing the soul ring, Lin Chen felt his condition and spoke with unconcealed delight.
At the same time, within Lin Sect, the powerful women all sensed the disturbance coming from Lin Chen's palace.
The next moment, their figures left their rooms and rushed toward Lin Chen's palace.
If they guessed correctly, Lin Chen must have achieved a breakthrough in strength.
Before long, inside Lin Chen's palace, Ah Yin, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji appeared one after another.
Looking at Lin Chen, whose aura had surged, excitement appeared in their eyes. Zi Ji, in particular, sensed the waves of Dragon King pressure emanating from him.
Not long ago, Lin Chen's martial soul had already evolved into the Light Dragon King. As his strength increased, the Dragon King pressure around him would grow even stronger.
"Broken through to Soul Douluo?"
After seeing Lin Chen, Zi Ji swayed her slender waist as she walked up to him, her eyes full of curiosity as she asked.
Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly. The smile on his face never faded. The increase in strength made his heart remain in a prolonged state of excitement.
After Ah Yin and the others arrived, the figures of the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Gu Yuena also appeared, coming before Lin Chen.
After learning of Lin Chen's improvement, they were also very happy. After all, they were now elders and deputy sect masters of Lin Sect.
Moreover, all of them were soul beasts. Lin Chen growing stronger brought great benefits to them as well.
At the very least, when facing the God Realm in the future and changing the fate of the soul beast race, they would have greater confidence.
At this moment, after his soul power increased, Lin Chen wanted to test his true combat strength. He cast his gaze toward the white-haired woman in a white dress not far away, the absolute ruler of the Extreme North, Snow Empress.
Among the six women present, although Bi Ji's cultivation was sufficient, she was not skilled in combat.
Ah Yin, Zi Ji, and the Ice Empress were all below the Ultimate Douluo level and could not bring much pressure to Lin Chen. He could even defeat them with ease.
As for Gu Yuena, there was no need to say more. As a God existing in this world, she could deal with Lin Chen with a single strike.
The only suitable opponent for Lin Chen was Snow Empress, the ruler of the Extreme North, whose cultivation had reached the Ultimate Douluo level.
Sensing the battle intent in Lin Chen's gaze, Snow Empress immediately understood his purpose.
A spar.
"Snow Empress, my strength has improved greatly. Why don't we spar and see whether I possess the Ultimate Douluo level combat power?"
Looking at her, Lin Chen spoke first, issuing a challenge.
Hearing this, Snow Empress said nothing and simply nodded lightly, indicating her agreement.
She also wanted to see whether Lin Chen, with the cultivation of a Soul Douluo, could contend with her.
Seeing the two reach an agreement, Gu Yuena stepped forward a few paces, glanced between them, and then slowly spoke:
"Since you're going to spar, I'll act as the referee, so you don't accidentally injure each other."
Hearing Gu Yuena's suggestion, both Lin Chen and Snow Empress nodded in agreement. They were well aware of her strength.
A true god, even if the two of them lost control during the battle, Gu Yuena would be able to stop it in time.
After that, the group left Heaven Dou City and searched for a suitable place outside the city for their battle.
After all, battles at the Ultimate Douluo level were too terrifying. Even if fought in the high sky, a slight mistake could affect the civilians living in Heaven Dou City.
After a while, their figures appeared in an open area outside Heaven Dou City. Once they arrived here, Lin Chen and Snow Empress could fight without restraint.
"Lin Chen, I'm about to make my move. Be careful."
Standing in midair, Snow Empress looked at Lin Chen not far ahead and spoke softly as a reminder.
She was extremely confident in her own strength. Moreover, after receiving rewards from the diary system, her cultivation had reached 800,000 years, making her even more terrifying than before.
"Don't worry, I'm not as weak as you think."
After replying, Lin Chen began to summon his martial soul. The next moment, a golden five-clawed dragon over a hundred meters long appeared above them.
The golden dragon emitted an incomparably bright aura, drawing all the light energy within a thousand meters toward it.
At the same time, it also radiated powerful Dragon King pressure, faintly suppressing Snow Empress.
The golden dragon had now completely transformed into the Light Dragon King. Its pressure exerted a tremendous degree of suppression on soul beasts.
Fortunately, Snow Empress was not a dragon-type soul beast. Otherwise, she might have ended up like Zi Ji outside the battlefield, trembling all over.
Noticing Zi Ji's abnormal state, Gu Yuena smiled slightly. With a wave of her small hand, the dragon pressure unconsciously released by the golden dragon was instantly dispelled.
Her dragon bloodline was above even the Light Dragon King. Aside from existences like the Dragon God, no soul beast could suppress her.
Immediately after, Lin Chen began releasing his eight soul rings. With the rewards he had obtained during this period, his second purple soul ring had already turned into a black soul ring.
Now, Lin Chen's configuration was one purple, four black, and three red soul rings. Moreover, the first purple soul ring already had several black patterns, indicating that it was close to the ten-thousand-year level.
